Note: Not all cables come with your
digital satellite receiver; you may
need to purchase additional cables
depending on your setup.
Telephone Jack and Cord
The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to a land-based telephone
line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV programming. The phone line connection is used to
periodically call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type
of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may
permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.
